The film Autobi chronicles a woman’s desperate search for her missing sister. Starring Madhumita Sarcar, Shaheb Chatterjee, Rahul Banerjee, Aryann Bhowmik, Sushmita Roy and Inaaya Chowdhury, the film opens with a glimpse into the past, where sisters Dimple and Taniya witness a domestic tragedy involving their parents. This shared trauma forges an unbreakable, albeit suffocating, bond between them. Years later, Dimple becomes fiercely protective of Taniya.

“Autobi is not merely a story about a missing person; it is a descent into the labyrinth of the human mind, where love can become suffocating and protection can turn into a cage. At its core, this film explores the haunting legacy of childhood trauma. We begin with a horrific domestic tragedy that binds two sisters, Dimple and Taniya, in an inseparable knot of grief and survival. Possessiveness disguised as care can drive a wedge between loved ones, leading to catastrophic consequences. Chamsutti forest is more than just a location; it is a breathing antagonist. It serves as a metaphor for Dimple’s fracturing psyche. Visually, I aim to blur the lines between the external horror of the jungle and the internal horror of her mental health and paranoia,” said director Soumava Banerjee.

As Dimple ventures deeper into a No Entry zone, the film transitions from a procedural investigation into a surreal nightmare. “Autobi is a tragedy about gaslighting. I want the audience to leave the theatre questioning the nature of the ‘ghosts’ we fear — are they lurking in the woods, or are they the people we trust the most?” added Soumava Banerjee.

“Autobi captivated us with its unique blend of high-stakes psychological drama and atmospheric horror. From a production standpoint, the strength of Autobi lies in its contained yet expansive setting. The Chamsutti forest is not just a backdrop; it is a character in itself — the No Entry zone reflects the protagonist’s crumbling mental state. The horror is derived not just from jump scares, but from the claustrophobia of the deep woods and the labyrinth of the human mind. The script blurs the line between the supernatural myths of the forest and the protagonist’s struggle with her own mental health. We are thrilled to bring this gripping narrative to the screen. Autobi promises to be a cinematic experience that challenges the audience to distinguish between the monsters lurking in the dark and the monsters hiding within us,” said D.K. Bharti, the producer of the film.
